Dr Gordana Kierans

Dr Gordana Kierans - author and TEDx Speaker - has 17 years of business experience at the interface between leading Business Schools and companies. During her career, she has worked with entrepreneurs, SMEs, multinationals, governments and NGOs, in Germany and world-wide. She has also worked with top academics in the area of the Circular Economy which inspired her to create a practical hands-on programme that would help a company of any size to immediately implement new circular ideas. She has also developed a Udemy course on Circular Economy with focus on entrepreneurs.

Dr Kierans was born and raised in Croatia but she lived for 25 years abroad (Italy, Germany, Belgium) which resulted in the knowledge of six languages. She completed all her studies in Germany, including her Doctorate. In addition, Dr Kierans is also an Alumna of the Harvard Kennedy School Executive Education. Her commitment to a more connected world was recognised and she was invited to deliver a TEDxTALK in Europe. Today, she is a Partner at MGT OPEN.
